About us
How Van Belle grew from a small-scale dealer to a top class player in the Belux
For many years, we’ve served satisfied customers with our range of high-quality woodwork equipment all over Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. We’ve chosen consciously to specialise in a limited number of trademarks so that we can provide the highest level of quality and service for our customers. We’ve sold the German top class make Weinig for over 45 years. To assist you with grinding, we’ve added the Swiss Kündig to our range. This make stands for high-quality sanding machines. Moreover, we’ve also added the sale of the traditional machines from Panhans Hokubema to our assortment. These include surface and thickness planing machines, panel saws, and spinning tops. Since 2008, we’ve been the exclusive dealer of Weima in Belgium. This German manufacturers is renowned for its briquetting presses and waste wood shredders. We set high quality standards for all our makes and machines. For Van Belle NV, this promise is the start of a valuable partnership with all our customers.
